TULAMBEN

It is a seaside village in north east Bali about 2 hours drive from Sanur. The landscape is arid and its beach consists of pebbles and black sand.

It is here that divers from around the world meet to discover the wreck of the USS Liberty, beached in 1942 and moved to the sea in 1963 after the eruption of Mount Agung.

USAT LIBERTY Wreck

Any level

26 to 30°C

The Liberty was a 120 meter long freighter built in 1918 in New Jersey (USA) and requisitioned by the US Army during the Second World War. During his last trip, he was hit by two torpedoes from a Japanese submarine on June 11, 1942 when he crossed the Lombok Strait. He was towed towards Singaraja, but taking too much water, he was intentionally stranded on the beach of Tulamben to be emptied of his cargo. He remained from 1942 to 1963 on the beach. The earthquake, caused by the eruption of Mount Agun, made him slide into the sea.

Thus, Bali has this world famous diving site with this wreck for more than 50 years, and what a pleasure for us to make you discover it.

USS LIBERTY Wreck is 40 meters from the edge of Tulamben beach and placed on the sand between 6 to 28 meters deep. You will meet barracudas, pygmy seahorses hidden in multicolored gorgonians, groupers, batfish, angelfish, parrot fish, tiger pond, eels, jackfish, black tip sharks or white tips, nudibranchs or turtles.

The shipwreck has a lot to offer for both photographers and naturalists. Don't forget to dive on the USS Liberty for night dive to meet the humpback parrot or the Spanish dancer!
